This is what everyone is afraid of on the other side of the badge. I hope by some miracle the officer will pull through...

OOOOH boy, this is going to rustle Trump's jimmies. 

Warren didn't need a gigantic security detail armed to the teeth with tear gas and flashbangs and rubber bullets and riot shields directed by his personal lapdog lawyer to use them to disperse Americans to appear out in public. She brought her husband and her dog.

 

If there's one thing that terrifies Trump, it's women emasculating him and showing him for the coward he is.

Yep... pretty much an idiot.

 

More details.

MSNBC strung together all those quotes from GOP senators earlier on last night into a video.

 

Rounds was my favorite. Just throws up his hands.

Atlanta protests tonight were very peaceful, although before curfew hundreds of people were trying to leave and get to their cars but the National Guard had blocked every street for 30 square blocks. Heard/saw a few white drunk a$$h@!es saying the n word and trying to pick fights but nobody would take the bait.

 

 

Also I saw Ameer Abdullah downtown taking photos

Cruz is a bigger loser than Trump in many ways.

The DHS note warning of white supremacist linked violence was circulated among law enforcement officials, Politico reported. Citing the FBI, it said that two days after Floyd's death, the channel "incited followers to engage in violence and start the 'boogaloo' — a term used by some violent extremists to refer to the start of a second Civil War — by shooting in a crowd."

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced on Tuesday an investigation into the policies and procedures of the Minneapolis police to determine whether the department has discriminated against people of color over the past ten years, according to the StarTribune.

An optimistic update on this video that was shared pages ago:

 

 

 

 

 

 

https://abcnews.go.com/US/atlanta-police-officers-charged-forceful-arrests-college-students/story?id=71023836&cid=social_twitter_abcn

 

 

Six Atlanta police officers have been charged after forcefully pulling two college students out of a car, smashing its windows and using a stun gun in the course of an arrest as protests continued nearby, a prosecutor announced Tuesday.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said that arrest warrants were issued for Lonnie Hood, Roland Claud, Mark Gardner, Armond Jones, Willie Sauls and Ivory Streeter for the caught-on-camera incident.

 

...

 

After the video went viral on social media, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms called for Young's charges to get dismissed and fired officers Gardner and Streeter. The rest of the officers are on desk duty. 

Howard praised the mayor's swift actions as "the conduct of these officers is not indicative of the way we treat people in the city of Atlanta and certainly not our children."

Howard is giving the officers until June 5 to turn themselves in.
